Camp Out....Almost

By
Last week, we attempted to introduce Leah to the wonders of sleeping beneath the stars.  And by we, I mean Ryan, because though I love camping there's no way I'm going to attempt to "sleep" on the ground right now...  So, Leah put on her finest Ariel costume and helped Ryan set up the tent. 




Then Leah changed from her Ariel costume, to an apron, and there were sparklers!



And S'mores for dessert.



Yes.  Ryan is enjoying both a s'more and a pipe at the same time. 


But, alas, it was just too hot out.  And there was some kind of air advisory that went into effect, so the tent was transported to the basement and Leah's first campout took place in air conditioning.

Oh such fun and Leah is always such a fashion statement! Reminds me of our indoor floor picnics and sleep-outs on the family room floor! Always build such precious memories!

Close Encounters of the Pregnant Kind

By
I have found that something about a pregnant lady makes people say things that they wouldn't normally say. And, then of course, there is also a sudden decrease in personal space awareness. I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Snow and Sesame Street

By
We woke up to sooooo much snow! The kind where you can't get the back door open and you have to shovel your way to the garage to get to the snowblower. Leah and Lucy were both pretty amazed - the snow is deep enough to swallow them both up! We played in the snow while Ryan, bless his heart, began excavating our house. Leah helped shovel us out for a while. What a trooper! Another recent fun event was going to see "Sesame Street Live" on New Year's Eve. We saw Elmo, Grover, the Count, and all of Leah's favorites. The music was pretty awesome - my favorite was a medley of "I love trash" and "We're moving trash," which is a song about decomposition sung by an R&B Beetle. Very fun - Leah was mesmerized.
